Repost: Science Proves That The Best Donuts Are Actually Non-Donuts

Came across this while searching for something else. Feels like a good time for something light and delicious.

When people say "I'd like a donut," #Science indicates that Actually, they don't want a donut at all. They say donut, but they really mean a pastry from the paradonut family.


Exhibit A: The Coffee Roll

Phasers on Star Trek have three settings: Stun, Kill, and Coffee Roll.

coffeeroll.jpg

Exhibit B: The Eclair.

From the French for "lightning," the eclair was invented by a psychiatrist as a delicious alternative to electroshock therapy for schizophrenics. Because when you're eating an eclair, you can't deny the marvelous cream-filled reality you're actually present in.

Exhibit C: The Cheese Danish

Cheese Danishes have a mix of flavors and textures that make them, in scientific terms, "a gang-bang for your face."

Exhibit D: The Bear Claw.

The bear claw is the ugly, bewarted King Pimp of the pastry shop window, with a dozen smaller, more effeminate donuts it's turned into its sad little bitches and tricks following behind it.

bearclaw.JPG

Exhibit E: The Apple Fritter.

The so-called "Emperor of Pastries" makes your stupid little glazed donut look sad and weak like Barack Obama's gay arms.

applefritter

Exhibit F: The Cinnamon Bun.

Cinnamon Buns have been proven to be responsible for America's obesity epidemic and diabetic crisis, and also totally worth it.

Bonus: Worst Donuts.

1. Jelly Donuts.

Jelly donuts are always what's left after people eat the real donuts.

Jelly donuts are consolation prizes for losers who came late.

They taste like failure for a reason. If you're eating a jelly donut, that's because you're not a competitor and you don't have any friends to set aside a good donut for you.

2. Plain Donuts.

Plain donuts are also called "not donuts" or "ring-shaped bread."

Plain donuts were invented for parents who don't love their children. They are also sometimes put out as bait for poisoning rats, though they have a 75% failure rate. Rats don't like them either. Sometimes a poisoned plain donut will be found intact, with a dead rat next to it -- rats will lick the poison off the plain donut while avoiding the plain donut itself.

According to Leviticus, you are supposed to pay the dowry of an ugly woman in plain donuts.

3. Powdered Sugar Donuts.

Powdered sugar donuts are made primarily by mental degenerates employed by donut shops as charity hires. They are sometimes called "Retard Donuts."

To compare powdered sugar donuts to the Holocaust would be to trivialize the horror of powdered sugar donuts.

57 This reminds me of that stupid "what counts as a sandwich" debate. Is a burrito a sandwich? Is a hotdog a sandwich?

My personal resolution to that debate is to say that sandwich is a broad category with many branching sub-categories in a taxanomic classification, with the convention that it's proper to refer to a food by it's most specific classification.

137 Everybody loves donuts. My old town had a ban on neon signs and fast food joints being the quaint New England seaside down it is. They also had the president of Dunkin Donuts living in the town. Clearly, something had to give.

So they compromised. They allowed him to install a DD without a neon sign, just a plain wooden one, and it became the most popular spot in town for coffee and empty calories.

Yum.
They also make an outstanding chocolate frosted yellow cake donut.

The only powdered-sugar donut that defies Ace's description comes (on Saturday mornings) from the basement of the LBGTQ church next to the Oak Park, IL farmers market. Old school. They don't make 'em like that any more.

It is a delight to the palate and an enhancement to the waistline. It is what all other fried pastries wishes they would become after they've shuffled off their mortal coil and joined the choir invisible. Truly the angel of donuts.

It is truly an experience that must be enjoyed 12 times over. And now, if you will excuse me, I will be back. I need to, um, take care of some business.

Posted by: runner - all covfefed up at June 06, 2017 04:14 PM (c6/9Q)

396 I haven't had a donut or any pastry in 6 or 7 years. This post is killing me. This is culinary terrorism.

Posted by: Ladylibertarian at June 06, 2017 04:15 PM (TdMsT)

397 I love me some plain donuts. Regular donuts (not the fake ones like bear claws and apple fritters) are just too sweet for me. I don't like the frosting on any of them. I will take any cake donut that is not frosted. Such as a 'blueberry' donut or chocolate donut. A glaze is ok, but light glaze.

Plain donuts are excellent with coffee and make you feel like you indulged w/o too much guilt. I'm grateful for the hated plain donuts, as there are usually plenty for me to choose from at any occasion.

421 I used to work at a place with free donuts and bagels every Friday. It was supposed to be a time for employees to hang out together. It wound up with administrative assistants going over to get donuts just for their group. When they brought in the hatchet guy to start layoffs, he was bitching about how much was spent on donuts. He axed that first thing, then the bottled water service.

It's interesting that vegan, health concious Portland is big on Voodoo donuts. They don't make great donuts but they are weird enough that Portlanders will line up for them.

506 The worst, the absolute worst, is when you get a nice, hot apple fritter.

Take it home.

Sit down, bite into it. Fantastic! Next bite. Fantastic! Third bite: doughy. They didn't cook it all the way.

I've gagged and almost thrown up over several apple fritters that way. Horrific.

But I soldiered on, because as a kid when I looked up through the small crevices while running from the rabid coyotes chasing me endlessly through the foul miasma of a mud bog inside the caves full of luminescent moss, I once thought the cloud of vultures awaiting my demise looked tasty.

malnutrition. Best damn pet a boy could have!


OH, la-ti-da, Little Lord Fauntleroy and his pet tapeworm!

When I was a lass, all we had to play with were our own wounds, cuts, and bruises from our jobs as rug beaters. We were snatched up and smashed against rugs fifteen hours a day for ha'penny a month, and then we played with our own broken flesh until we passed out right before starting work again. And we considered ourselves quite lucky, at the time.

When I worked at a summer camp back in the Pleistocene Era, we would take the oldest kids for a huge meal at this place in NE Pennsylvania called Kresge's Lindencourt.

571 Kolaches are Tex-Czech. The Czechs who moved here (including my own ancestors) adapted their fruity dessert, the kolach, into a savory breakfast treat with sausage and/or jalapeno. Cultural appropriation at its finest!

Beignets, sopapillas, and zeppoli are all pretty much the same thing and are all fucking delicious esp. with powdered sugar and honey or raspberry or chocolate dipping sauce.

576 How to make Chickoree Coffee at home: (or at least a pretty close facsimile)

Take a pot of good black coffee, then boil it, and boil it, and boil it until it starts to get kind of sticky and some is caking on the side of the pot. You know, like if you forget and leave the burner on all day. What's left to pour will taste a lot like chickoree.

Yes, in fact Entenman's used to make fruit stollen at Christmas. We had it when I lived on Long Island and haven't seen it in years since I moved away.

White cake (like soda bread) covered in sugar with "fruit cake" like fruit. It was perfect with black coffee.

677 I buy Sprouts coffee, whole beans, and mix a bag 50/50 with their Italian roast and the espresso roast.

We don't do grinding, so I grind it using Sprouts's machine, couple notches above full coarse. Using a small cheap Black & Decker coffee maker with 32 ounce capacity, we do 1-1/2 scoops for 16 ounces water.

Perfect!

Sprouts prices the beans at $10 per pound, and every other week or so I find it at $7. It's hit or miss, so I just figure I am cost-averaging at $8.50.

I used to get Starbucks's Italian roast, but it's priced at $13.33 full price and discounted on a timing pattern about like Sprouts to $9.31, so my cost-averaged number is $11.32.

And I should mention that I find doing biz with Starbucks about as distasteful as with Google.

You certainly don't go to Chinese or Japanese or Thai restaurants for the desserts. I've had decent mango ice cream at a Thai restaurant, bu that's it. The ME? Some sort of honey/date pastry thing. Not much variety. Africa? I can't even think of an African dessert.

There was a place in a Birmingham, AL mall called Cindy's which had cinnamon rolls which were absolutely orgasmic.

739 You certainly don't go to Chinese or Japanese or Thai restaurants for the desserts. I've had decent mango ice cream at a Thai restaurant, bu that's it. The ME? Some sort of honey/date pastry thing. Not much variety. Africa? I can't even think of an African dessert.

You guys need to go behind the Iron Curtain.

Ever wonder why every adult Pole over 40 is portly?

Sure, there's the potato/meat diet, but thats not the real reason.

Polish baked goods to die for. From cakes to cookies to donuts, there is literally something for everyone, and it is all more wonderful than life itself.

750 You're not wrong, *especially* if they're made from challah bread coated in cinnamon sugar, with butter cream cheese frosting. There was a place in a Birmingham, AL mall called Cindy's which had cinnamon rolls which were absolutely orgasmic. Until recently I had never figured out their secret until I went over to a Jewish friend's home and had homemade cinnamon rolls made from challah bread.

I ain't kidding when I said these things are orgasmic.

Japanese cuisine has a handful of sweets, the traditional kind sweetened from adzuki beans, like taiyaki. (which admittedly *is* damn good if it's fresh off the griddle) But everything else like dessert crepes (yes, crepes) and green tea ice cream is all due to European/American influence.

770 Speaking of croissants, Trader Joe's frozen croissants are amazing. Frozen they are about the size of a half dollar. Let them thaw and rise overnight and they are about 4" across. Bake and they come out a full sized croissant, as good as, actually better, than your average bakery.

785 Sorry I missed the doughnut thread. Not too many I don't like, except Tim Horton's and fancy hipster flavors that sell for upwards of $3. I like Entenmann's rich chocolate ones and miss DD's old powdered sugar jelly doughnuts. Krispy Kreme I can enjoy one bite, then it's too sweet.

Ferrara's still in Chicago on Taylor. D'Amato's also excellent for Italian desserts and canolli (no doughnuts, though.)

790 The hubster and I were in the bright, sunny Everglades. There was no one around but us, beautiful nature and water, and one left-over chocolate-covered Dunkin Donuts donut. I recalled that last trip to New Orleans. Our air boat swamp tour operator (a for-real Cajun guy) told us that the one thing alligators love more than anything in the whole wide world is "candy." By which he meant sweet treats. Hub and I looked at each other, the donut, and the sparkling water. No gators or people in sight. I thought, OK, I'll test that statement. I chucked the donut about four feet from where we stood on the shore. Within one minute, a large, scaly alligator's head and tail broke the surface of the water. He eyed us, then the donut. He was a big, big alligator. He started making straight for - us or the donut? We stood, rooted with instant fear that had mixed up faster than a Nescafe. The gator made no noise at all, his giant tail waving evenly back and forth in a horizontal cobra dance. All we knew - he was coming at us and fast. We looked at each other. It was one of those "OH, SH*T!" moments in your life where you are absolutely certain that you have just done something very, very stupid. Then, the gator very gracefully glided to a stop with only the donut between him and us. His jaws opened wide and - he went right for the donut. We watched in fascination as he chomped the donut to pieces, even going after the little bits. Then, another gator head popped up behind him. We decided to bail, and quickly. We swore to never feed gators again. We named the gators Hannibal and Clarice. Because you know, what every reptile wants is just something - sweet.
